Post by: Keith Larden on August 28, 2025, 08:53:13 PM

I posted this back in 2021. I am still looking! I have a beautiful 1981 L-19, she would look very nice next to :wink:

I would like to add a L-45 12 string to my collection, sooner rather than later, as I am aging fast :smile: . From either Victoria or Vancouver era.
Any one have one they would like to part with?
I live in Canada, eh...Calgary Alberta area.

I think this eBay listing is just a reseller, not the actual retailer.

I actually tried to buy that exact guitar from the retailer two days ago, Ishibashi Music, https://intl.ishibashi.co.jp/products/20-2800003437753. I had it in my "shopping cart" and they were having an issue with their PayPal system, which I was communicating with them about via email. They sold the guitar to a domestic buyer, "Out from Under Me". I was some pissed :angry: :crying: If I could have reach across the ocean :mad:

I've noticed a lot of Japanese resellers pushing the prices up in the last few weeks.

I saw someone talking about their L-45-12 on Facebook. I pointed them here, so maybe they'll get in touch with you.

:+1: Well, hopefully my search for a Larrivee 12 string has come to a close...for now! Although not a L-45, I just placed an order for a 1997 C-05-12. This is a 12FTB Mahogany with a Florentine cutaway. Which is good, as I already have a Rosewood 12 string [1970 Martin D12-35] and a Maple 12 string [2015 Norman Studio B50-12] in my collection. :nana_guitar
Thanks to those who read and assisted on this thread. :cheers
